All Evolvace E3Os were destroyed. At last, the showdown between Resurrace and Guardace are going to start. As damaged Resurrace were restoring himself, he tried to manage to absorb the sophisticated technology of Evolvace E3O.

'Using the final weapon, all the Evolvace E3Os must become extinct.' The final battle between Evolvace E3Os has begun. Take good aim, shoot the Degenerate. Simple on-line match-up shooting with one critical shot. Use six characteristic E3Os. Switch the three ways of direction to launch the Degenerate, or Manual, Auto, and Random. Will the end of E3O come? The final episode of Evolvace E3O trilogy.
